Freaking out a little!

[jennolsen 140]

I am scheduled for a sleeve September 14th, a little over 2 weeks. I don't have a liquid diet, just a liver reduction diet which is Protein, fruit and veggies. I caved last weekend and it has snowballed all week! I now am in a mode where I want to get one last time of everything! I know this is crazy and I have to get it together like now! I have lost the 5% my doctor has asked preop and really only need to maintain for a few weeks. I am freaking out about gaining and my liver not being ready and also about what this says about my future ability to get it together with my eating habits. Any last minute advice? How did you keep it together in "crunch time"?

I am in the same exact boat as you, I'm waiting for the responses, I gained 2 pounds back and I'm freaking out ????????????

For me (4 weeks liquid diet) I just got it into my head that it was all up to me...

I'd had to postpone my sleeving twice before and was not going to let ANYTHING stop it happening this time.

I guess (for me) it was as simple as deciding what I REALLY wanted...

I chose, long term improvement over 'instant' gratification..

Best of luck to you @@jennolsen

You'll get it together...

If for no other reason other than for yourself..

Thanks for the encouragement. I had an awful week at work and hectic life schedule this week too. I am very aware of the fact that I need to develop some new coping mechanisms for stress and anxiety but have not been able to make that happen this week. Now or never, I don't want to postpone and give the haters more chance to hate!

I think it's the idea that it's OMG I can't have this or that or the other from here on out... It's not true for a while u won't be eating much but u won't want to then little by little you will be able to eat normally again just smaller amounts but having said that u will have to decide if you will eat well or go back to bad habits if you eat high fat high sugar high calorie foods you will not lose a lot or will stall or regain its a tool but not a magic trick that allows us to still load in foods that got us to this point
